Madden 20: 8 Tips To Play Like A Boss

3. Experiment with RPOs

The same goes for RPOs, although they're not quite as consistent.

One thing to note is that you'll need to pass even quicker than normal if running this kind of play. That's a sneaky downside that you'll notice instantly; generally, RPOs carry a 0.5-1 second penalty in Madden 20. Sacks will come thick and fast, and they're best used against other human players online for that very reason.

Run Pass Options add an element of mystery to proceedings. That's the beauty of them. They're a nice new addition to the series, and they make it possible to fool players into thinking a bullet pass is coming when you're actually planning a five-yard run through the rushing pack.

It's probably for the best that you hit the training field to try these out first. Or, put the game on the lowest difficulty and give it a try against weak defences like the Raiders or the Dolphins. If used sparingly (against the AI, at least), RPOs will open up your personal playbook.
